True. True. It has been done and everyone knows it. But that console outsold the PS3 by 50,000 worldwide this week and continues to widen the gap overall. That's how great things are going for Sony. Thanks for your input. |
I bought a new 360 today to replace my faulty Xbox Elite Zephyr console, so score one for the Microsoft side. I did buy an extended warranty on that original unit and it's lucky I did. My unit did not RROD but it had no video/audio. It would not have been covered by Microsoft's extended warranty policy. I'm sure there are a small percentage of those sales are in the same boat as I am, not RROD, out of warranty, and not covered by Microsoft and ended up buying a new unit.
My PS3 with BC still works. I rarely use the BC feature though. I think it has very little real value. It takes a tremendous effort for software BC because some studios started to exploit some features of the EE and GS that wasn't documented. To account for all those tricks would be tremendous effort and wasted one at that. Not only that, the vibration feature doesn't work and the new PS2 library is dwindling. If you want BC, buy a PS2 for $120.
